Album Notes & Community Reviews

Compiled by Prestige Records from his late 1950s instrumental trio sessions, this release gathers the incredibly influential tracks where the pianist stepped up to the microphone. His distinctively relaxed, heavily ironic Southern drawl and sophisticated, bebop-inflected piano blues profoundly influenced the entire generation of 1960s British rock musicians, specifically inspiring the repertoires of The Who and The Yardbirds.
